These two pictures are backward here. The first is of my rose bushes after a "close encounter" with some deer. The second is after they have started to sprout some new growth. Like I have sai before I am not a nature photographer but I try.

Don't know if this white flower has a name other than "weed"but I thought it was nice.Then a couple of days later this purple one bloomed.

Signs of spring are everyhere here. This was a surprise earlier this week. A Hyacinth survived the winter and is blooming.I spotted the pink one first

I collect things other than bears. These are just a sample of the 45 or so tea pots that I have. And some of the one hundred plus spoons I have from all the states and several foreign countries. I have them on a coffee table with a wicker base topped with glass.The glass keeps them from tarnishing.

Some of you have children that do cute things /I have my kittens. This first picture is them telling Baby that they'd help her get back in. The other one is them resting(on the piano )with some Valentine bears.

This is my driveway after the rain I have wild daffodils(miniature) Susan has the real thing.

I am not a nature photographer but thought you might like to see my Christmas Cactus that bloomed at Easter last year.

this is my "Baby" an Italian greyhound. She is about 2 years old.

I didn't tell you that the kittens are Flame point Siamese. They are 6 months old. In this picture Baby is standing at the front door wanting in.

Now you've met my "family"
